Outdoor Reading

Would rather recite poetry
in a forest
in a dell
in a woodland
in a meadow

Would be joined by
squirrels
chickadees
earthworms

Would not judge
my poetry and say you suck

Would rather recite poetry
by a river
by rocks
by jolly green giants
by humming birds

Would rather recite poetry
in nature than at an open mic reading
